This Devoted Life
What started as a Saturday morning coffee date turned into a podcast where we discuss our faith, family, finances and so much more!
In a world that is encouraging you to “live your truth” and to “follow your heart,” we want to encourage you to live Devoted to THE Truth. The Bible has a lot to say about how to live a victorious Christian life, and we want to share practical insight in how to apply those truths to your life as we endeavor to apply them to our own lives as well.
We are passionate about building and growing the nuclear family, as well as sharing our expertise and experience with finances, homeschooling, and over 70 years of combined biblical knowledge.
Join us as we live… This Devoted Life!

13: How Do You Identify?
Finding your identity is a hot topic these days! As we were chatting around the campfire the other night, we began to take an introspective look at where we are finding OUR identity.
It is our goal in this episode to peel back the layers on where we are finding our identity and how that affects the way we live as Christians. It is easy to become hyper focused on how OTHERS are identifying, but are we missing a good opportunity to take a close look at ourselves and see ourselves the way God sees us?
Here is what you can expect in this episode:
1:30 - Intro to Topic
3:27 - Seemingly Harmless Things We Find Our Identity In
12:28 - Where should we find our identity?
33:10 - See Ourselves As God Sees Us
40:11 - Obstacles to Believing Our Identity in Christ
45:30 - Live Fully Into Your Identity
